il is now in the hands OF the house COM
mjttee on schools and school lands, of
which Hon. George II. Ford is the chair

not be examined on this subject until 1889.
allowing them two years for preparation.
This subject will naturally be given atten-
tion al Teachers Institutes. This instruc-
tion will not necessitate the purchase Of
more than one extra text book land this for

of any child and this will not cost more

The Mayor'. Power.

To the Editor Of the Republic:
BY what law or ordinance is the mayor
today authorized to receive fees, rs he does.
for his judgments upon violations of the
ordinances of council" Is this authority
given him by the general laws of the state.
or is it given him by the ordinances of couE-
ell, authorized by such general laws? And.
then. by what ordinance Of council or gen
eral law can he and will he be deprived of
this power by a majority of the votes cast
being for the police bill?
In short what law or ordinance of coun-
ell which has been. or can be passed, VIII
take from the mayor his present right-Or
power-to sit in Judgment upon violations
of she ordinances of council when the pO-
lice Judge is. or can be, doing the same
thing?
If. therefore. the advocates of this police
bill can not clearly show that the mayor
cannot thus sit in judgment, they should
have the honesty to say they can not do
this. instead of trying. as they are doing. to
deceive honest men into voting for this bill
in the hope of getting Goldfish aristocratic
mayor who will do as desired by'them, to
the detriment of all really good citizens.
The writer fully believes that the advocates
of the bill can never make such showing.

Gard from MIR. John u. Thomas.

To the Editor of the Republic:
Your paper last evening contained the
following: "Mr John II. Thomas, tie
most ardent advocate of the police bill. de
clared publicly that if the mayor will have
concurrent jurisdiction with the police
Judge he would not only draw his support
from the bill. but will do his utmost to de-
feat it." Now, | do not suppose you inten-
tionally do me wrong, but allow me to say
YOU are relying upon information entirely
incorrect. as there is no truth whatever
in the above statement. You also
published in Mondays paper an
interview with Mr.. West, of the Nc,rs,
which. so far as il related to me. was en-
iirely and absolutely untrue. Mr.. West
acted upon information which was unrelia-
bic never have denied but what the
mayor. if the police bill is adopted, would
have jurisdiction in civil cases. and in cases
arising under the state law, but do deny
that he has any jurisdiction whatever in
cases arising under the city ordinances, eX-
cept il may be in the absence of the police
Judge or his disability. So far. no lawyer
of reputation has ventured any opinion
contrary to this. and | do not believe
that any one will risk his reputa-
tion in making contrary state
ment. Ii is true | am for the bill. not as
Its most earnest advocate, but as one
thoroughly imbued with the conviction of
the deSirableness of the measure. In nv
way | am ready 10 do for it what can.
have made but one public utterance on the
subject, and have spent no money OF time
in advocating it. As much As | should de-
plore the defeat of the bill, have nothing
at stake in its passage which the humblest
citizen has not. Ii is no scheme of mine
but | stand by it merely because believe
il to be good measure.

THE BEST MEDICLAL writers claim that
the successful remedy for nasal catarrh
must be non-irritating. easy of application.
and one that will, by its own action. reach
all the remote sores and liberated surfaces.
The history of the efforts to treat catarrh
during the past few years obliges us 10 ad-
nit that only one remedy has completely
met these conditions, and that is Ely'S
Cream Balm. This safe and pleasant rem
edy has mastered catarrh as nothing else
has ever done. and both physicians and pa
tients freely concede this fact. The more
distressing symptoms quickly yield To it.
